Neck Training Works Abs?

as you move your head the mass by your head causes your core to attempt to hold your body together so you dont bend backwards

also my first reply

What size in inches is considered "big" for neck, assuming you are lean.

So is this normal? Or should I try and keep as much of my body on the bench as possible?
At the minute this is becoming a limiting factor, rather than the strength of my neck.

Well desu i have never performed the excercise and dont know the weight you use or whatever, but I think if its bothering you perhaps you could look into alternative neck factors or just train your core to the point you are no longer fatigued. 2nd way'll take longer but itll be the best of bothe worlds.

Sounds like you should train your abs if you get sore from that.

You're doing it wrong if that's the case. Barely hold on to the plate, it forces you to work with your neck instead of your abs

keep your whole body and head on the bench. don't let your head hang over the end like this guy in your pic is.

think of it as doing a neck crunch and not a neck situp. you odn't need to go back all the way past parallel with the floor

I don't hold on to the plate, just place my fingertips underneath it to prevent it from slipping off my head.

Interesting. I haven't heard or seen this method before.
Do you do them this way yourself? If so, what have your results been like?

it works for me. i can feel my neck and it feels like it is truly isolated. try on the floor right now to see what I mean

Is it worth it to train neck when cutting?
i gained 1 cm or so in three weeks of bulking

You should train everything you are training normally as well during a cut. If you want to keep the muscles that is.
